Hey folks, just as a reminder,
don’t install Remote Access or Management tools for your employer on your personal devices
I’m consulting these days, and a client wanted me to use Chrome with a managed profile, and even *that* is a no-go for me; it still lets them install & remove extensions inside Chrome, which still qualifies as a RAT, and is a hard no from me
If they want that access, they can supply the device
(in fairness, they plead ignorance of this capability)
